Take up the Focusrite Liquid Mix Challenge - classic hardware or emulation? 04/12/07

Buying Choices

So confident are Focusrite of their revolutionary Liquid technology, that theyâ€™ve chosen to put their necks on the line and create the Liquid Mix Challenge, complete with the chance to win a new Liquid 4PRE.
This challenge provides ten different excerpts; each features a dry sample, followed by two processed samples, A and B. One of these is processed through the original vintage or classic hardware, the other through a Liquid Mix emulation of the same unit. The question is, â€˜which is which?â€™
For each excerpt, the user must decide which sample has been processed through the Liquid Mix, as well as decide which sample they liked the most. Your score is displayed at the end of the short test, alongside an aggregate of the worldâ€™s scores to date.
With over 17 awards under its belt, Focusrite say that their Liquid Technology (featuring Sintefexâ€™s patented dynamic convolution techniques) is a proven winner. They tell us that the challenge further demonstrates Liquid Mixâ€™s impressive ability to deliver class-leading classic and vintage compressor and EQ emulations. They donâ€™t, however, just want you take their word for it - the idea behind the challenge is that you hear Liquid Mix for yourself and make up your own mind. Is it really as good as all the magazines say? Find out by taking the Liquid Mix Challenge now. More information:
